Otto Brick has resigned his

chanls National bank at Wadena.
Max von Domarums has taken
a position in the First National

A verdict in the sum of $1 was
brought for the plaintiff Monday afternoon in the case of
John Schmolke vs. Elizabeth
Uhl. The action was for $5,000
damages for slander. The
plaintiff charged that the defendant had stated that he
forged an endorsement toanote.
A verdict for the plaintiff was
ordered by the court, the jury
fixing the amount of damages.
Mrs. Aug. Horn of Minneapolis, who has been visiting near
Swanville, boarded a train here
Monday afternoon for Seattle.
As Mrs. Horn was about to take
the train her 5-year-old son
Clifton was taken from her custody by Deputy Sheriff Paul
Felix on orders from Minneapolis. The boy's father arrived
Monday night from Minneapolis and returned to that city
with the boy.
The jury in the last jury case

FIRST SNOW
LAST MONDAY.
A sort of preliminary winter—
just to show us what to expect
later—set in last Monday, when
snow fell at intervals all day.
It was not of the variety of the
large flakes, which circle around
and ''seem nowhere to alight,"
but rather of the fine grained
blizzardy kind.
By evening the earth had a
complete coat of white and the
familiar crunch and stamping- of
feet was heard everywhere.
Even the housewives were made
aware of the proceedings outdoors by the lumps of snow carried into the rooms and allowed
to melt on the floor. Pigs grunted and squealed for shelter,
spring chickens huddled in the
corners for protection and alternately lifted one foot and then
the other, and the cow ceased
to chew her cud. On opening
the door a kind and familiar
warmth of atmosphere met your
face, which reminded one that
even old winter had his charms.
The splendor and warmth of the
hearth as forerunners of Christmas cheer are strong competitors of the charms of spring for
first place in people's hearts.
Winter is feared by contrast,
during the sweltering days of
sweat and mosquitoes, but
the transition from fall to
the winter season is nearly always so gently paved by a
few incipient introductions ol
northwind, woolen underwear
and fuel supply, that we fall
into below-zero weather, almost

between here and Brainerd do
not know that Little Falls is to

certainly is not the fault of the
motorists.

is from four to six cents per

hogs make use of the entire corn
crop without waste, when fed
in this form. Fattening- hogs
can husk a g-ood proportion of Wednesday
the corn field and make g-ood
gains at the same time. They
can be allowed to run in the
standing corn until snow falls,
if they are given a couple of
loads of straw to nest in. If it
is not possible to finish them in
the standing corn, they can profitably be finished on bundle-

to some extent, but a portion of'
this can be picked up by colts, ]
sheep or cattle. The corn stalks
are converted into manure by
being- worked over and trampled I
by the stock. While there may

is a large saving of labor in

Why Husk All The Corn?
It is customery in the Northwest to husk most of the corn
crop that is not put into the
silo. The expense ol husking-
is from four to six cents per
'I bushel. In addition to the ex-
pense, corn-husking takes much
time needed for other fall work.
So far as possible, it would be
wise to husk only the corn needed for inside feeding.

very successfully fed on bundle
corn. Such cattle followed by
the brood sows or other store
hogs make use of the entire corn
crop without waste, when fed
in this form. Fattening- hogs
can husk a g-ood proportion of Wednesday
the corn field and make g-ood
gains at the same time. They
can be allowed to run in the
standing corn until snow falls,
if they are given a couple of
loads of straw to nest in. If it
is not possible to finish them in
the standing corn, they can profitably be finished on bundle-
corn. They will waste the stover
to some extent, but a portion of'
this can be picked up by colts, ]
sheep or cattle. The corn stalks
are converted into manure by
being- worked over and trampled I
by the stock. While there may
be a small waste of feed, there,
is a large saving of labor in
handling- the crop in this way.
